What makes a good application?
I am filling out an application for an hvac tech. I don't have my 608 but I have years of experience installing and servicing. Would you put some pictures of installs and such? This is a pretty good company, I think I would take a pay cut but I think it might be worth it. What are employers looking for? Every job I got was through reference so this is some what new.

I know I need it but haven't had a chance to take it, classes are so far away and last time they had them I wasn't aware, it's on my priority list for sure but we heat 9 months a year lol.

Set reachable goals and take that simple little test. Good luck. Go ahead and take the NATE while at it. Make yourself stick out with your own self reliance.

Find a C C dicksons , or R E Michel co in you area. The will issue the test to a single person.

You also can take the time and get PM tech , 410 A , Green , IQA, and 609 if you want.The opinions expressed by me are not that of my employer.

Is there a community college near by? Most offer a 2 day class for the test.
Also, as far as resumes go, limit it to one page with headings and bullets.

We have a school 2 hr away that had an hvac program, I figure if I have to I will see if they will let me test, maybe now would be a good time to look into it again. I wish I would have it out of the way.

How or why would you have "years" of experience and never had an employer help you get the license?? If we hire an unlicensed person, it's with the clear goal to get them licensed right away (assuming they survive the probation period). Have you been working for an unlicensed contractor?
No names please!

I work for a licensed insured company, Mechanical electrical and plumbing, I personally don't need to have a license as far as I know.
